This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic monitoring of a curfew has become an integral part of the criminal justice system and its use has increased from 9,000 cases in 1999-2000 to 53,000 in 2004-05. This report examines its cost effectiveness and covers: whether breaches of curfew are detected and dealt with promptly; the cost compared to custody; the impact on the offending behaviour. The main conclusion is that electronic tagging does offer value for money but effectiveness is undermined by delays in fitting tags and delays in responding to breaches of curfew.

This book was released on 2006-10-12 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic monitoring or tagging, allows offenders who might otherwise be imprisoned to be released on curfew, with restrictions imposed on their liberty. This report focuses on the electronic monitoring of adult offenders, which account for nearly 80% of cases. The report, by the Committee of Public Accounts follows on from one by the NAO (HCP 800, 05/06 ISBN 0102936773), and sets out a number of findings, recommendations and conclusions, including: that tagging is cheaper by some £70.00 per offender on average, than prison; that the Home Office needs to implement a timetable for providing all prisons that release prisoners on Home Detention Curfew with access to the Police National Computer, and that all records should be transferred with prisoners when they are moved between prisons; prison governors should be kept informed about whether prisoners have offended when on curfew; more than 1,000 serious crimes have been committed by offenders released early from jail on electronic tags monitored by private companies, further research is required to assess if electronic monitoring helps reduce re-offending and promotes rehabilitation; prisoners released on Home Detention Curfew should be able to continue their education and training and that probation officers should help prisoners do this.

Download or read book Electronic Monitoring written by Tom Daems and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic, sociological and penological exploration of the most up-to-date uses of electronic tagging (also known as electronic monitoring). With increasingly overcrowded prisons, electronic tagging has been proposed as an alternative form of punishment, and interest in this topic is growing throughout Europe. Current debates and research have often been limited to policy evaluation and effectiveness, whereas Electronic Monitoring examines the brand of punishment from a social-science perspective. This book explores the uses and history of electronic tagging, and draws upon the work of the Dutch criminologist Willem Nagel to reflect upon this form of punishment by examining its functions and dysfunctions. It speaks to those interested in criminal justice reform, surveillance, penology and penal innovation and probation.

Book excerpt: Electronic monitoring of offenders in the criminal justice system is a trend that continues to expand in the U.S. and abroad. The history of the technology is reviewed as is the prevalence and usage of EM systems on a global scale. Specifically, this document examines the commonly held pros and cons to EM use in the criminal justice system and potentially relevant theoretical perspectives to support justifying EM's existence and use. Electronic monitoring programs from the United States, Sweden, and the United Kingdom are examined to understand programmatic differences in theoretical assumptions, structure, and monitoring. In conclusion, this document identifies a series of questions and issues, absent from the research published to date, which may provide further understanding of the technology and its role within the criminal justice arena.
Download or read book Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners written by Committee on Ethical Considerations for Revisions to DHHS Regulations for Protection of Prisoners Involved in Research and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-01-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 30 years, the population of prisoners in the United States has expanded almost 5-fold, correctional facilities are increasingly overcrowded, and more of the country's disadvantaged populations—racial minorities, women, people with mental illness, and people with communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis—are under correctional supervision. Because prisoners face restrictions on liberty and autonomy, have limited privacy, and often receive inadequate health care, they require specific protections when involved in research, particularly in today's correctional settings. Given these issues, the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Human Research Protections commissioned the Institute of Medicine to review the ethical considerations regarding research involving prisoners. The resulting analysis contained in this book, Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners, emphasizes five broad actions to provide prisoners involved in research with critically important protections: • expand the definition of "prisoner"; • ensure universally and consistently applied standards of protection; • shift from a category-based to a risk-benefit approach to research review; • update the ethical framework to include collaborative responsibility; and • enhance systematic oversight of research involving prisoners.
